<p class="bodytext">Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David;<n id="1" /> such is my gospel,<n id="2" />

and they will come to their senses and escape the devil&#8217;s trap where they are held captive<n id="1" /> to do his will.<n id="2" />p>

But keep away from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love, and peace, in company with others<n id="1" /> who call on the Lord from a pure heart.<n id="2" />

For some of these insinuate themselves<n id="1" /> into households and captivate weak women<n id="2" /> who are overwhelmed with sins and led along by various passions.

as well as the persecutions and sufferings<n id="1" /> that happened to me in Antioch,<n id="2" /> in Iconium, and in Lystra.<n id="3" /> I endured these persecutions and the Lord delivered me from them all.

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message<n id="1" /> would be fully proclaimed<n id="2" /> for all the Gentiles to hear. And so I was delivered from the lion&#8217;s mouth!
